Over several years, I've learned that I have to be unemployed to focus on the most important things in my life. Dealing with my grandmother's death, funeral and the family drama that followed, my divorce, breaking up with a soul mate.

Whatever needs my undivided attention isn't always obvious at first. But I'll do what is asked of me when I find it.

And hopefully, now that I know the cycle, I can identify my mission and complete it successfuly with more ease, wisdom and grace than the missions before.
